Summary

Catskill Avenue Elementary is a K-5 public school serving 419 students in Carson, California, within the Los Angeles Unified school district, and it has shown impressive, steady improvement over the last decade.

Academically, the school has a clear strength in mathematics, where student proficiency significantly outpaces both the district and state averages, and it performs particularly well in supporting English Learners and students from low-income families. While the school's overall state ranking is above average, it's noteworthy that two nearby schools, Two Hundred Thirty-Second Place Elementary and Carson Street Elementary, rank higher. Compared to other neighbors like Fries Avenue Elementary and Normont Elementary, Catskill Avenue achieves stronger academic results while spending less per student.

The school has made remarkable progress in improving student attendance since the pandemic, and this likely supports its academic gains. An interesting point of comparison is the nearby Scholarship Prep - South Bay charter school, which has much lower chronic absenteeism but significantly lower math proficiency. For families, Catskill Avenue represents a school on a positive trajectory, effectively serving its community with a notable focus on math and specialized student support.
